Environmental Legislation |
|
|
Cranberry Smart Clients are designed and built to conform with the latest
RoHS and WEEE environmental legislation relating to toxic chemical content and
to their safe end of life disposal. Even their compact size has a positive
effect on the environment because Cranberry Smart Clients consume less resources
and energy for both manufacturing and recycling.

Today, businesses are facing increasing financial and social
pressures to adopt more environmentally aware policies, both within
the company and when sourcing equipment and services. Companies
need to go further than simply recycling paper and plastic, and the
IT department is one of the key areas where real results are
achievable. |
|
|
|
IT equipment accounts for a massive 70% of a company’s energy bill and 15% of
all power used in the UK is for office equipment. This has a negative effect on
the environment and businesses are currently responsible for about half of all
the UK’s carbon emissions. |

Based on an research compiled by Cranberry, this chart shows the
average power consumption and CO2 emissions of a standard PC
compared with a low-energy Cranberry Smart Client: |
|
|
 |
Based on an annual usage of 9 hours per day, 5
days per week, 48 weeks per year (2160 hours in total)
Assumption, when calculating power usage add 7.4% as transmission losses.

Cranberry’s Smart Clients have very efficient microprocessors and no moving
parts like fans and hard drives, which means they are silent when running and
use very little electricity. |
|
|
|
This radical drop in power-use means that they don’t get hot
like a PC and that significantly reduces the air conditioning
needed for the office, and cutting electricity costs by as much as
90% when compared to a conventional PC. |
